Registration for the tournament

 Vladimir Kazachenok was born in the city of Kolpino, which gave Russian football, in addition to him, also Gerasimov, Panov, Khromchenkov and some other players. Gathering a team with friends, he played at the Leather Ball tournaments. Then, for some time, he performed in the local Izhorets team. One of the first coaches of the Kazachyon was Sergey Salnikov. He joined the Zenit team in 1971, but for a long time he could not get into the main team. According to Vladimir himself, his natural data were rather modest, and all that he could achieve in the future was the result of work on himself. In the championships of 1974 and 1975, he played 41 matches. The football player, who did not serve in the army, became interested in departmental clubs. Vladimir accepted the offer of Dynamo Moscow, especially since relations with the then Zenit coach Zonin were unsuccessful.Vladimir Kazachenok was born in the city of Kolpino, which gave Russian football, in addition to him, also Gerasimov, Panov, Khromchenkov and some other players.

Vladimir accepted the offer of Dynamo Moscow, especially since relations with the then Zenit coach Zonin were unsuccessful.Playing in Dynamo next to such players as Pilguy, Bubnov, Gershkovich, Kazachenok learned from them skill and soon became a fan favorite. Having played at Dynamo for three seasons, having won the Cup of the country (1977), he moved back to Zenit, which was now coached by Yuri Morozov.In 1980, Leningraders won bronze medals of the championship, and Kazachyonok was recognized as the best player of the season in the composition of blue-white-blue. Since 1981, Kazachyonok became the captain of the team. Fans dedicated a lot of chants to him:“Our Zenith fans cannot be counted as long as there are people like Kazachyonok.” “Whoever is rooting for Zenit will not give birth to a boy, not a girl, but Volodya Kazachenka!”
“I want to have a child from Volodya Kazachyon!”In 1983, despite many offers, he decided to end his career as a player: he did not find a common language with the new club coach Pavel Sadyrin, but did not want to play anywhere else except his native club. In addition, Vladimir had an old injury made itself felt, because of severe pain in the knee joint, he began to experience great discomfort.After that, he played for veteran teams, tried to find a new lesson. He worked as a foreman of movers in a trans-agency, tried to train Dynamo Leningrad, worked in Finland for a year, tried himself as a commentator on football matches, worked as a head teacher at the Zenit Sports School, tried to become a deputy, but at the last moment withdrew his candidacy. Finally, I found myself in the coaching field on the second attempt. In 1999-2002 he coached “Svetogorets”, with whom he won the championship of the Leningrad Region, the MPE “North-West” Championship and successfully performed in the “West” zone of the second division, then he headed “Petrotrest”, taking him out of the second division into the first.Since 2006, he coached the Khimki team, and in the first year brought him out of the First Division to the Premier League. In the middle of the 2007 season, Vladimir Kazachenok had health problems. Doctors diagnosed with hypertension. A month later, a Cossack returned to leadership of the team, but on September 6, the day of his 55th birthday, he nevertheless resigned as head coach.In January 2010, he assumed the duties of the head coach of the Estonian club Kalev from Sillamae, where he worked until the end of December 2011.
